Hi everyone, I''ve got a problem with tabs in the AUI Notebook. I just
implemented a light on dark GTK theme. It seems like the glossy tabs
are trying to fade a gradient with light towards dark (see
attachement), on top of that it is using black text per default. I
assume this is a problem with wxWidgets core and not really anything
we care to do anything about here. So I started looking into
implementing with a simple look instead but notice the following in
the AUI sample code:
# TODO - Notebook styles not currently supported; not SO important
if e_id = ID_NotebookArtGloss or
e_id = ID_NotebookArtSimple
Wx::message_box("AUI Notebook Art styles not currently supported
in wxRuby")
return
end
What is the status on this one, has it already been fixed already
maybe? If not what is the priority?
Cheers,
/Henrik

The AUI style switching should work there and you could see whether the "simple" theme does indeed look better. As for wxRuby support for this: adding all the AuiTabArt classes is very low priority - I''m not sure I even want to do it. But it would perhaps be possible to add a method to AuiNoteBook that switches between the two available simple/glossy themes. alex

These allow switching between the two tab styles provided, with glossy the default. Having tried it out the simple theme looks better on GTK I think, but perhaps the glossy better on OS X, from memory. alex
